Are there any Sparky fans out there with the 70s annuals that know of a sci-fi strip where in the last frames, the aliens are revealed to be bird-like when they remove their space helmets (or similar)?

I'm told it was a Sparky annual but it could be another DCT title.

Any help (and pictures, as we want to identify the artist) appreciated!

The strip you are looking for is 'The Birdman of Alsace' a 6 page strip, printed in full colour, in the 1979 Sparky Book. An old hermit, living in a wood in France and who seems to be able to converse with birds turns out to be an alien, avian life form sent to Earth to gather information.Sorry I haven't any scans but the artwork is very classy. I just can't bring the name of the artist to mind. One thing I can say though is that this was the only work he ever did for the Sparky.

It has been suggested the artist is Brian Lewis, a well-known and admired illustrator, who sadly died shortly after this. It may be among the few strips he did for DCT, and we are looking for a scan to confirm it is indeed his work.
